Indian Bollywood superstar Shilpa Shetty has been stopped from leaving country because authorities believe she is fleeing from obscenity charges. Earlier during a AIDS benefit event Richard Gere swept her in his arms and kissed her on stage. This "public show of affection" is considered a taboo in deeply offensive in India.
Watch this video of the stage event :
The pictures were all over new papers the next day. Also pictures of angry crowd burning effigies of Gere in many cities.
Shilpa's claim to international fame is her win in the British reality television show Big Brother, after a controversial race row.
